0:44 Introduction
Adam welcomes you to the course and discusses what he will be covering.
-
11:21 Lossy Compression
In this video, learn about lossy compression, and how to minimize how much it destroys your music's sound quality. This is the most important thing to understand when creating music for online video.
-
8:36 Clipping & Headroom
How much headroom should you leave when creating music for online video? Get this wrong, and your audio will clip/distort. Lossy conversion requires much more headroom than you might expect, but as Adam explains in this video, for precise numbers, you'll need to run some tests.
-
11:52 Loudness & Compression
When creating music for online video, how loud should the audio be? How compressed? To answer this we first need to understand "loudness normalization", and how the various video platforms compensate for loudness. In this video, Adam uses Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube as examples.
-
13:13 Stereo Imaging
What do we do with the stereo image? Do we place things in the center? On the sides? Or in the distance? And find out why it's much safer to use mono compatible techniques, as occasionally (sometimes for no logical reason) the video platforms sum to mono.
-
5:25 Sample Rate
In this video, learn what sample rate is, and how to correctly/cleanly convert to the correct sample rate for video.
-
3:51 Bit Depth
In this video, Adam discusses bit depth: what it is, and what bit depth you should export at.
-
3:45 How to Test Things
Throughout this course I've emphasized repeatedly that you must test things. Things change, and so every six months you must test your working knowledge. Learn some tips and tricks for testing what you know.
-
3:33 Pre-Intro Arrangement
People consume video content on Facebook/Instagram/etc.. differently to how they consume content on Spotify or YouTube. Learn why, and how you should adjust your music's arrangement accordingly.
-
0:59 Better Without a Vocal
In this video, Adam discusses why it's better to create music without vocals, as that allows the video creator the option to lay some voiceover on top.
-
2:46 Do the Work in Advance
When pitching music to video creators, do the work in advance, and approach with specific ideas. This is the most important principle people usually get wrong.
-
3:22 How to Persuade & Influence
In this video, learn how to better pitch music to video creators, by implementing principles from one of my favorite books: Influence, science and practice. In this video video I look at two of the principles, reciprocity, and social proof. And how you can use these to convince a video creator to purchase your music.

1. When did you start dabbling in music?
I started producing music just over 5 years ago, right about when Skrillex's Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites EP dropped.
2. What training have you had?
I'm fully self-taught, and haven't had any formal training. I use online resources and learn a lot by talking to other producers about how they do things too.
3. When did you get into recording?
(same answer as number 1)
4. People you have worked with/for?
DJTechTools, iZotope, Output, CAPSUN Pro Audio, Loopmasters, Plugin Boutique, Industrial Strength, 5Pin Media
5. Why are you so good at training people?
I've had a lot of experience in the EDM space, from producing tracks and sample packs that have charted on sites like Beatport, through to DJing internationally and running a record label. And on the training side I've produced thousands of tutorials, and also tutor people one to one.
